honey
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (none)

Instructions
1
Begin by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures they get crispy when baked.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, chopped green onions, white vinegar, honey, cayenne pepper, chopped fresh ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Whisk everything together until well blended.
3
Add the chicken wings to the bowl, tossing them in the marinade until they're thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. This step is crucial for flavor absorption.
4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare one or more greased baking sheets for the wings.
5
Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
6
Pour any remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Allow the wings to bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, turning them halfway through, and basting them with the marinade occasionally for added moisture and flavor.
7
Once cooked, transfer the wings to a serving platter. While they cool slightly, boil the reserved marinade in the saucepan over medium heat until it slightly thickens (about 6 minutes).
8
Drizzle the thickened marinade over the wings or serve it in a small bowl as a dipping sauce. Finally, sprinkle the wings with toasted sesame seeds for a delightful crunch.
